What a gorgeous radio! And what a great gift! The best cleaner is some Goop or GoJo (no pumice). Apply with a cloth, rub gently (always with the grain) and wipe clean. It might take more than one application to get it clean, depending on just how dirty it is. It will have a wet and shiny look for a few hours while it dries. Chances are a little Howard Restore-a-finish after that will bring it back to a near new appearance if the original finish is still largely intact. This is about as clean as I know how to make it.
